Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of biomass fuel processing, and in particular to a biomass power plant fuel dryer. Background Technology

[0002] Biomass fuel refers to fuel made from burning biomass materials, primarily agricultural and forestry waste. It differs mainly from fossil fuels. The application of biomass fuel primarily involves biomass briquettes, which are produced by crushing, mixing, extruding, and drying agricultural and forestry waste into various shaped, directly combustible forms – a new type of clean fuel. Existing technology announcement CN107894145A discloses a biomass fuel dryer, including a drying chamber, resistance heating wire, insulation layer, metal shell, discharge port, inlet port, support column, support plate, support pillar, rotating motor, screw rod, limiting plate, and discharge hopper. The resistance heating wire is fixed in the middle of the outer wall of the drying chamber. During operation, the dryer heats the drying chamber through the resistance heating wire, drying the biomass fuel. The insulation layer not only prevents heat exchange between the drying chamber and the outside environment but also prevents heat transfer from the drying chamber to the metal shell, avoiding burns to workers and improving the safety of the dryer. However, when too much material is fed at once, the biomass fuel in the drying chamber will not dry evenly or completely, resulting in poor drying effect. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a biomass power plant fuel dryer that can continuously and quantitatively feed materials, ensure the uniformity of biomass fuel drying, and improve the drying effect.

[0004] This utility model discloses a biomass power plant fuel dryer, comprising a drying chamber, multiple support legs, a discharge pipe, a feeding assembly, a heating assembly, and a conveying assembly. Support legs are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the drying chamber, a discharge pipe is installed on the right side of the bottom of the drying chamber, and a feeding assembly is installed on the left side of the top of the drying chamber. The heating assembly is installed inside the drying chamber, and the conveying assembly is installed above the heating assembly. Biomass fuel is continuously and quantitatively added into the drying chamber through the feeding assembly, and the biomass fuel is pushed to circulate and be heated on the heating assembly by the conveying assembly, ensuring the uniformity of biomass fuel drying and improving the drying effect.

[0005] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes a feeding cylinder, a connecting seat, a feeding hopper, a conveying shaft, two spiral conveying blades, and a servo motor. The connecting seat is installed on the top left side of the drying chamber, and the feeding cylinder is installed on the top of the connecting seat. Feeding ports are symmetrically opened on the front and rear sides of the connecting seat. The feeding hopper is installed at the top feeding end of the feeding cylinder. The conveying shaft is rotatably installed inside the feeding cylinder. The input end of the conveying shaft is connected to the output end of the servo motor. Spiral conveying blades are symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the conveying shaft. Biomass fuel is added to the feeding hopper, and the servo motor is started to drive the conveying shaft to rotate. The conveying shaft drives the spiral conveying blades to rotate, pushing the biomass fuel to both ends of the feeding cylinder. It is continuously and quantitatively added into the drying chamber through the feeding ports to avoid excessive feeding at one time, which would affect the drying effect.

[0006] Preferably, the heating assembly includes multiple drying plates, multiple sets of heating plates, two sets of heating rods, and a temperature controller. The multiple drying plates are evenly arranged vertically inside the drying chamber. The middle of the drying plate is cylindrical, and a heating plate is installed inside the drying plate. Heating rods are installed at the front and rear ends of the bottom of the drying plate. The temperature controller is installed on the right side wall of the drying chamber. The upper drying plate has a discharge port on its right end, the middle drying plate has a second discharge port on its left end, and the bottom drying plate is connected to the input end of the discharge pipe on its right end. After the biomass fuel enters the drying chamber, it falls onto the surface of the drying plates. The temperature controller controls the heating plates and heating rods to raise the temperature and dry the biomass fuel. The biomass fuel is circulated and heated on the multiple drying plates through the discharge and second discharge ports to ensure the uniformity of the drying of the biomass fuel.

The multiple rotating shafts are rotatably mounted in the middle of the drying plate. The drive wheel is mounted on the left end of the upper rotating shaft, and the first double-position pulley and the second double-position pulley are mounted on the right end of the lower rotating shaft, respectively. The reducer is mounted on the left side wall of the drying chamber via the fixed plate. The input end of the reducer is connected to the output end of the drive motor, and the output end of the reducer is connected to the input end of the drive wheel. The drive wheel and the first double-position pulley... The pulleys are connected by a transmission belt, and the first double-position pulley and the second double-position pulley are connected by a transmission belt. The outer walls of the upper and lower rotating shafts are equipped with first spiral conveying blades, and the outer wall of the middle rotating shaft is equipped with second spiral conveying blades. When the drive motor is started, it drives the drive wheel to rotate through the reducer. The drive wheel drives multiple rotating shafts to rotate synchronously through the first double-position pulley, the second double-position pulley, and the transmission belt. This causes the rotating shafts to drive the first and second spiral conveying blades to rotate, thus pushing the biomass fuel to circulate and ensuring the uniformity of drying and improving the drying quality.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes multiple second heating rods. The inside of the rotating shaft is hollow, and the right end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the right inner wall of the drying box. The multiple second heating rods pass through the right side wall of the drying box and are located inside the rotating shaft. The second heating rods are electrically connected to the temperature controller. The second heating rods are activated to heat up the rotating shaft, thereby drying the biomass fuel during the conveying process and further improving the drying quality.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes a protective cover, with locking screws at both ends of the protective cover and locking screw holes on the left side wall of the drying oven; the protective cover is installed on the left side wall of the drying oven by the locking screws and locking screw holes to protect the first double-position pulley, the second double-position pulley and the transmission belt and ensure safety.

The second heating rods 18 are electrically connected to the temperature controller 6. Locking screws are provided at both ends of the protective cover 17, and locking screw holes are provided on the left side wall of the drying box 1.

[0019] Biomass fuel is added to the feeding hopper 22. The servo motor 25 is started to drive the conveyor shaft 23 to rotate. The conveyor shaft 23 drives the spiral conveyor blades 24 to rotate, pushing the biomass fuel towards both ends of the feeding cylinder 20. It is continuously and quantitatively added into the drying chamber 1 through the feed inlet to avoid excessive feeding at one time, which would affect the drying effect. After entering the drying chamber 1, the biomass fuel falls onto the surface of the drying plate 3.

A servo motor 25 is started, driving the conveyor shaft 23 to rotate. The conveyor shaft 23 drives the spiral conveyor blades 24 to rotate, pushing the biomass fuel towards both ends of the feeding cylinder 20.

The drive wheel 8 drives multiple rotating shafts 7 to rotate synchronously through the first double-position pulley 14, the second double-position pulley 15 and the transmission belt 16. This causes the rotating shafts 7 to drive the first spiral conveyor blade 9 and the second spiral conveyor blade 10 to rotate, pushing the biomass fuel.
